A private temple in Tainan, Taiwan, faced criticism from Mazu devotees after announcing a 'marriage' with the North Shanwei Luer Men Tianhou Temple, even going so far as to change Mazu's name to include the husband's surname on promotional material. The temple received backlash on social media with users expressing anger and disapproval. Following the outrage, the temple quietly deactivated its Facebook page. The North Shanwei Luer Men Tianhou Temple clarified that the action was unauthorized and caused distress, emphasizing that religious worship should be respected, and the temple should not be associated with such activities.
